I shall not be selfish
for there is a mother crying alongside her hungry child

I shall not be selfish
for there is a girl bawling on her lost dignity

I shall not be selfish
for there is an elderly left to grow old alone

I shall not be selfish
for there is one who suffers silently

I shall not be selfish
for i seemed far less minor now
